When the comb jelly, Mnemiopsis leidyi, was introduced into the Black Sea, its population exploded to 500 comb jellies per cubic yard in 1988. The jellies devoured all the zooplankton and fish larvae, drastically reducing the numbers of the native fish populations. This situation demonstrates _______.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The answer is invasive species.


Invasive species are species that are not native to specific ecosystem, but they have a capability to spread widely through the ecosystem, This way they can threaten native species of the ecosystem or cause environmental harm. 

After being introduced into the Black Sea, they greatly affect local ecosystem. In the new area, they have no natural predators and are able to spread. If they spread beyond the area they are introduced, they become invasive species which can overgrow native biotopes and are a great threat to the local biodiversity. This could lead to the extinction of some native species.

What would happen to co2 if there was less plants

Answers

Answer:

More carbon dioxide (CO2) would be in our atmosphere.

Explanation:

Plants undergoing photosynthesis take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and give out oxygen (O2). They essentially use the CO2 to make sugars that keep them alive. Excess plant CO2 is then given off back into the environment, just like how we exhale CO2 after taking a breath.

So, no plants to take in the CO2 equals more CO2 in the environment.
